LaMelo Ball, the third overall pick in the 2020 NBA draft, hasn’t started a game for the Charlotte Hornets yet, but that hasn’t stopped him from making his presence felt.
Ball dominated against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night, putting up a career-high 27 points in 31 minutes (also a career-high), along with nine assists, five rebounds and four steals. He knocked down all nine free throws he attempted, and two of his nine assists set up late-game three-pointers for Devonte’ Graham, which sealed the Hornets’ 126-114 upset win over Milwaukee.
A career-high 27 PTS on 8-10 shooting, several jaw-dropping dimes (9 AST) and 4 STL for LaMelo Ball (@MELOD1P) in the @hornets win!
